david pogue in "how to prepare for climate change" mentions chicago and the great lakes area in general as a "climate haven", so the idea is not complete bs.

i wonder if this is the reason why those little dynamixel motors have been out of stock for months. (i use them in my robots at tapster.)

there was one glorious day years ago when every story on the hn front page was about erlang. that was fun. (anyone else remember that?)

github stars are a metric of investability. some investors use stars (and star growth velocity) to determine which projects they invest or don't invest in. (not saying it's good or bad - just saying it's a real thing.)

i've been tempted to use an agent to help me find non-horrible seats to see the 70mm imax version of the odyssey. but that's also the kind of thing that is heavily guarded by anti-bot detectors.

thanks for the extra context. i'm friendly with devs working on the protocol, but looking for ways to get them more support.

ok, cool. looks like i should chat with the fine people at cloudflare, too.

any plans to support webdriver bidi for automation? (i'd be happy to help!) [edit: for others reading who don't usually nerd out on browser automation protocols: webdriver bidi is the new-ish w3c cross-browser standard inspired by

no kidding. it was the last demo in the video, but my first reaction seeing the zippers-instead-tent-poles demo was, "oh, that's going to be huge." weight and "how well does it handle wind?" are concerns, but i coul

since the rise of agentic coding tools, it feels like we're in a new "eternal september" of people discovering ui end-to-end test automation.

have you tried vibium's cli + agent skill?

by hugs 6mo ago
some serious people use vibium instead. (full-disclosure: "some serious people" is me.)

that is the MCP vs CLI debate.

i wish more people knew or cared about web standards vs proprietary protocols. the webdriver bidi protocol took the good parts of cdp and made it a w3c standard, but no one knows about it. some of the people who do know about it, find one t

most people just click the "internet" button and use whatever was already pre-installed.

they probably meant desktop. i do browser test automation (selenium, vibium), and the lack of google chrome on arm64 trips up new users frequently. the workaround is to just use chromium, but that's a confusing extra step for some if i

hi, i'm jason huggins (selenium, appium, now vibium). browser automation and testing have been my jam for a long time. for most of that time, it would be fair to say browser automation was an often forgotten and overlooked corner of th

openclaw is the napster of itunes. people who have been around long enough know that we're currently in the wild west of networked agentic systems. it's an exciting time to build and explore. (just like napster and early digital m

not mozilla-related, but there's also the ladybird project if you're looking for sustainable alternatives: https://ladybird.org/
